Hush and Hear
The symurgist Libreng Ibon wrote this investigation of ‘those cast down’ on a research visit to the Haustorium.
I’m Reading…
The Libraries of the Watchman’s Tree all sit somewhere where the earth, the sky, or the sea can sing to them according to their affinity. The Haustorium is not the most diverse branch of the Watchman’s Tree. Neither is it the most stable nor the most destructive. But if one stands beneath the paper tree and keeps quiet, they will hear all three singing in triple harmony.‘

The Giribrago, the Snow, and the Blackbone appeared after the Seven-Coils, the Flint, and the Tide fell silent. They are not known to act, yet their presence at the libraries betrays a greater purpose. Did they fertilize the ground where the Watchman’s Tree now grows? If so, what was the fertilizer?’

Start Description: ‘The three cast down, yet rarely spoken of. For good reason, mostly, but some things demand to be written of. If you let me skim it, I could explain the more circumspect passages.’ [Libreng will examine the book and return it to you. He won’t leave until his other business is concluded.]
Description: ‘The gravedigger of La Espinada, she relayed an obscure tradition to me, of this site serving as a catacomb long before the first humans reached its summit. And you know as well as I how the Dead nurture those who grow above them. Remember that, when you stand beneath the tree, more than your voice will be heard.’
